Opendoor’s stock went wild after hedge fund manager Eric Jackson tweeted he's betting big on the beaten-down company.
🚨Breaking News:
Opendoor stock soared 189% this week, mostly because Eric Jackson hyped it online, not because business improved.
⚡Wire Simplified:
Opendoor sells homes online, has been losing money, stock was under $1
Eric Jackson bought in cheap, hyped it as a “100x opportunity”
The stock shot up thanks to hype, not fundamentals
Opendoor still losing millions and growth looks weak ahead
Jackson is using X (Twitter) to revive both the stock and his reputation
✔️Straight to the Point:
Opendoor’s rally looks more like social media magic than business success. Good story, but profits still matter someday.
🎤 Do you trust stocks that go up just because someone tweets? |

Microsoft is cutting off China-based engineers from helping U.S. defense clients after security risks got too loud to ignore.
🚨Breaking News:
Microsoft says no more China support for Pentagon cloud services after reports exposed risky workarounds in defense tech.
⚡Wire Simplified:
Microsoft cloud (Azure) was using engineers in China for U.S. defense projects
Reports flagged security risks and weird “digital escort” supervision
U.S. officials got mad, called it outdated and unsafe
Microsoft now promises U.S.-only support for defense clients
Pentagon is rechecking all its systems for similar issues
✔️Straight to the Point:
Microsoft fixed a security mess that probably never should’ve happened. Lesson learned, maybe don’t outsource Pentagon tech to China.

The key thing about having communities is that you have to have standards around behavior
No shirt, no shoes, no service
If you want nice things, there have to be lines that are not crossed
